Guinea has been under military rule since a junta took over in a September 2021 coup. The main political and economic organization in the region, ECOWAS, has been pressuring the junta—one of several in West Africa—to hold elections and restore civilian rule within a reasonable amount of time.
On October 20, 2022, both parties agreed on a 24-month transition timeline. Guinea’s self-appointed military leaders have dissolved the government and will appoint a new one, the secretary general of the presidency said in a video statement on Monday.
Amara Camara, the secretary general of the presidency, abruptly declared on Monday that the administration had been dissolved.
In a pre-recorded video uploaded on the president’s social media accounts, he said that directors of cabinet, secretary generals, and their deputies would lead until a new government was constituted without giving any explanation for the decision.
The new government that is created will determine how the dissolution plays out.
